Installing ITO Agents on the Managed Nodes

General Installation Tips for Managed Nodes

❏ Make sure that the entry root is not contained in the

/etc/ftpusers

file; Otherwise the installation of ITO agents to the

managed nodes will fail.

Installation Tips for SCO OpenServer
Managed Nodes

❏ The ITO agent software is installed on the

/opt

file tree. An empty

/opt

file tree is created during installation of the SCO OpenServer

operating system. By default, this file tree is positioned on the root
file system. If the root file system is too small for the installation of
ITO agents, create a symbolic link before installing ITO. For example:
if

/bigdisk

is a local file system with enough free space:

mkdir -p /bigdisk/OV

ln -s /bigdisk/OV /opt/OV

In a cluster environment, you must check that

/bigdisk

is also

accessible from all cluster clients, and that it is mounted from all
client nodes. For example, the local file system

/bigdisk

on the

cluster client must be mounted to the exported file system

/bigdisk

on the cluster server.

Installation Tips for SCO UnixWare Managed
Nodes

❏ The ITO agent software is installed on the

/opt

file tree. If there is

not enough space for the installation of the ITO agents, create a
symbolic link before installing ITO. For example:

/bigdisk

is a local

file system with enough free space:

mkdir -p /bigdisk/OV

l

n -s /bigdisk/OV /opt/OV

In cluster environment you must check that /bigdisk is also accessible
from all cluster clients; that it is mounted from all client nodes also.
For example, local file system /bigdisk on cluster client must be
mounted to exported file system /bigdisk on cluster server.

❏ Some of the logfiles that are observed by the ITO logfile encapsulator

are not present by default on UnixWare managed nodes, for example
the logfile

/var/adm/messages

.
